The Supreme Court has recognized the right against adverse effects of climate change as a distinct fundamental right in the Constitution. This landmark ruling expands the scope of Articles 14 and 21 to include protection against climate impacts on citizens' right to life.
‘It’s now time to leave the ECHR. Our rights have always come from Parliament, not unelected judges in Strasbourg who make up the law as they go along’ @Jacob_Rees_Mogg humiliates the ECHR after their 'climate change fanaticism' ruling against the Swiss government. https://t.co/vHSX3LfS0Z

The European Court of Human Rights has long ceased being a real court, having been transformed into a campaigning NGO promulgating questionable ideology by way of an equally questionable "legal” facade. The sooner UK leaves it’s jurisdiction the better. https://t.co/D2YBS8iwyX
This is the latest example of the expansionist doctrine practised by the justices of the Strasbourg Court. By viewing the ECHR as a “living document” they continually stretch its reach in ways no signatory ever agreed to. It’s profoundly undemocratic. https://t.co/OhNl9KbXXb

The Strasbourg Court is setting itself up as a legislator in place of elected governments. The ECHR has been bent out of shape by activists & politicians who want to seem progressive & internationalist by junking both nations and democracy. We should leave https://t.co/KwpFXJBCWN

The ECHR climate judgment is nuts. The 'Right to family life' (Article 8) has been re-interpreted as an obligation to reach Net Zero emissions (including imported emissions). More remarkable: it has appointed itself as the body best qualified to judge governments' policies. https://t.co/d3V0yHn1Ws https://t.co/kIrYawV28i
🔴 Climate change inaction violated women’s human rights, ECHR rules https://t.co/2h8nhbCrRG
Dear me. I strongly feel that all states need to do more to combat climate change. But the ECtHR's decision in Klimaseniorinnen is almost a parody of a legal decision (holding that the Swiss government has failed to do enough, violating the right toprivate life). /1
The ECHR is a completely absurd institution. https://t.co/0fjI1jOcvh https://t.co/raUONvesmn
Given we are still impacted by decisions made by the European court, this ruling will likely have consequences here. Expect a group of eco activists to force governments into making decisions that exacerbate our journey into a world of being colder, poorer and with fewer jobs. https://t.co/S2RCQtwx0f

If the ECHR can decide that a failure by states to protect citizens against the 'harms' of climate change is a human rights violation, it can decide that anything is, and democracy is undermined, says Dr David McGrogan. https://t.co/X4O2lbBkdm
